Event #53: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em
Day 1 Completed
Day 1 of Event #53: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em has come to an end. The largest $1,500 NLHE event of the series thus far not named the Millionaire Maker drew an impressive 2,816 entrants, generating a prize pool of $3,801,600. First place will pay $665,397 and leading the remaining 320 or so players is Alban Juen with 168,300. He is followed by Arden Cho (124,800) and Chance Kornuth (120,300).
Among the notables still in the field are David Vamplew (98,800), Noah Vaillancourt (72,900), 2012 Octo-Niner Steve Gee (59,100), Brent Hanks (53,500), Danny Suied (41,000), Barry Greenstein (36,400), Faraz Jaka (26,100), Matt Waxman (25,000), and Paul Volpe (16,900).
Also taking part in the action today was Antonio Esfandiari, fresh off of his fourth-place finish in the One Drop High Rollers No-Limit Hold'em. Unfortunately, Esfandiari didn't survive the day. Also among those who will not return on Day 2, include Lauren Kling, Darryll Fish, Maria Ho, Phil Laak, Matt Stout, and Luke Vrabel.
Play is set to resume at 1 p.m. local time on Sunday as the remaining 320-ish players play down towards the final table. Be sure to join us then as the quest to crown another WSOP bracelet winner continues.
